+# OpenTSDB with HTTP
+
+Netdata can easily communicate with OpenTSDB using HTTP API. To enable this channel, set the following options in your
+`netdata.conf`:
+
+```conf
+[backend]
+ type = opentsdb:http
+ destination = localhost:4242
+```
+
+In this example, OpenTSDB is running with its default port, which is `4242`. If you run OpenTSDB on a different port,
+change the `destination = localhost:4242` line accordingly.
+
+## HTTPS
+
+As of [v1.16.0](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v1.16.0), Netdata can send metrics to OpenTSDB using
+TLS/SSL. Unfortunately, OpenTDSB does not support encrypted connections, so you will have to configure a reverse proxy
+to enable HTTPS communication between Netdata and OpenTSDB. You can set up a reverse proxy with
+[Nginx](/docs/Running-behind-nginx.md).
+
+After your proxy is configured, make the following changes to `netdata.conf`:
+
+```conf
+[backend]
+ type = opentsdb:https
+ destination = localhost:8082
+```
+
+In this example, we used the port `8082` for our reverse proxy. If your reverse proxy listens on a different port,
+change the `destination = localhost:8082` line accordingly.
